JUNIOR MENTORING WEEKEND FEEDBACK
Question One: How did you get into Croquet? Grandad, Friend, Brother, Grandparents, Facebook, Mum, School. Question Two: What would make Croquet more brilliant? Fun games Pirates Playing more as a whole club Make a junior lawn Whilst the fun and games had temporarily stopped to allow everyone to take a breath, the young players at the Under 25 Mentoring Weekend were asked for some feedback by Andy Dalby-Welsh, and this was what they had to say. Question Three: How could we encourage more young players? Bring a friend day Make Croquet more “Well known” Fun Croquet in the last week of school holidays Stop being bossy Online quizzes Fancy dress days Advertising saying “It’s not just for old people” Social media at each club
Shorter games so no one gets bored A survey at the end of each term/ year Junior rule books Make it faster
Challenge Time If you could change one rule, what would it be? From Ben (6), Surbiton Croquet Club
He thinks we should be able to choose our colours, and would always be Red and Black.
Thank you to Hanna for her wonderful arVcle, your Croquet weekend looked like so much fun. I look forward to more arVcles from our young players. And thank you Ben for sending in his Big QuesVon. What would you change if you could have your own rule? Send in your answers, and send in your own Big QuesVons.
